That's because he's trying to pass for black.
I'm going to have to get the Tribune article to send to my Obama-loving Dem friends. They'll never believe a story from Newsmax.
Tell me where I'm wrong (Like you guys wouldn't be happy to!). But wouldn't that be kind of a good thing for Obama? Maybe when they get behind the curtain, people who might not feel entirely comfortable voting for a black man might do so if they knew he was half black/half white. Does his true status make him a pariah in the black community? I'm confused as to what the downside is here.
Why, this would be like Bill Clinton locking away his black grandmother...
"Free Granny Madelyn Dunham [Obama]! "
I see T-shirts and bumper stickers.
More from Hillary....
The MSN will get to the heart of this mater. No?
I strongly suspect that the folks here at FR or hitlerys campaign will uncover the ole girl.
hmmmm.....
According to Chicago Sun-Times.
She's black!

I'd sure love to find out if it was a mistake, or if the paper was mislead.
Tribune article:

All it says is that the Obama campaign refused to make her available. The rest is probably all made up by Newsmax and impossible to verify, so it's not usable in any kind of real world argument.
Obama's Pretending to be Black is Nauseating. The Democr*p Party is too Racist to Ever Give the Nomination to a Black Man.
Good question, I think we need to race this off to newsbusters.org. Was this a media slip-up, or did the Chicago Sun-Times get purposely misled by the Obama campaign.
The 1960 high school yearbook photo of Stanley Ann Dunham, Barack Obama's mother. She attended Mercer Island High School in Washington.
THE DUNHAMS: precocious, self-assured Stanley Ann (left); her impetuous father, who named his only child after himself; her mother, Madelyn, the quiet, firm influence in the home. Old friends say they see flashes of them all in Stanley Ann's son, Sen. Barack Obama.
A young Barack Obama is shown with his mother, Ann, in Hawaii shortly after his father, Barack Obama Sr., left the two to pursue his studies at Harvard. Barack's mother was given the name Stanley Ann Dunham because of her father's strong desire to have a son.
At his high school graduation, Barack Obama gets a hug from his grandmother Madelyn as his grandfather Stanley beams. His maternal grandparents raised Obama in Hawaii while his mother was living in Indonesia.
Sound like someone wants to "educate" the whites and the blacks. I'm not voting for him but I can understand asking any relative to not talk to the media. Also living independently, and privately, in your own apartment is not locked in a closet.
It would have been an interesting article , without the agenda hits.
